Hi
According to your complaints it seems to be a furuncle which is infection of the hair follicle.
I would recommend you to take oral antibiotics like tablet cefixime 200 mg twice daily for 5-7 days and apply topical antibiotic like neosporin ointment on the affected area twice daily for 7-10 days.
This should help in resolving it.
